Tutorial #43 | Future Garage Atmospheres/Drones

Hey! It's another future garage tutorial :)

This one's about creating these long evolving atmospheres/drones you hear in Future Garage, sometimes Techno & generally in Ambient music.

In this video I show you how you can make these using Spitfire Labs, granular synthesis & some effects (including a really long reverb obviously).

A key thing to do when recording these atmospheres is making sure you hold a note for at least 20 or so seconds, so that you can keep feeding more granular bits into your reverb, causing the atmosphere to evolve and increase in volume & frequency content.
After you stop holding the note it's also important you keep recording even when the reverb tail is close to ringing out, because if you normalize these parts you're going to also get a much darker version of your atmosphere out of one recording.

(also in the video I pitched the atmosphere down after recording to fit with the beat I made in case you wondered how its pitch magically changed).

Hope you like it, I'm really having fun with granular synthesis recently so there might be more vids like these in the future :))

If there's a subject/sound you want me to cover in one of my future tutorials let me know in the comments below ;)
Enjoy!
